Update on new judges

 I'm told that Jackie Becerra and David Leibowitz will get floor votes as early as next week. They should both get sworn in shortly afterwards. Whoever is sworn in first will get the open Miami seat with the other judge starting out in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm also told that Melissa Damian will be in the next batch right behind them, maybe a few weeks away. Those transfer orders will be flying across CM/ECF!

    Why did Damian get put in another batch? And what is going on with the vacancy caused by Judge Scola going senior?
